Blackmore's comment above is the source of the latter; Reed is the source of the former: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...on-captain-jose-fonte-hands-transfer-request/ I'm not exactly panicking yet, but when one of the club's mouthpieces walks back something Reed says a couple weeks earlier, it's cause for at least a little consternation.
I thought LeG on SW said we had someone lined up but was waiting on Fonte to go? Surely shouldn't be long then
We are looking and have been talking to other clubs since Fonte had his head filled with sweet nothings. I can't see us not buying one.
I don't doubt that we're looking; my worry stems from Blackmore seemingly setting the stage for us to shrug and say that we looked but prices just weren't right, because that's just the way January goes.
Blackmore has to have a out. He can't simply say we will get one or fans will bitch at him. He writes the same with other signings etc, he makes sure he always has a out. So if something goes tits up he saves face.
Very kind of Jose to behave badly, so we won't miss him. Been on his death bed since the start of the season...time to pull the plug.
Do you have counsellors on the IOW, or do they just give you a slap and tell you to just get on with it (aka CBT). We feel your pain, Fran.
Fonte He's failed apparently. His ego didn't fit in the stadium and they found a stuck Lovren in his rectum.
